Uncertainty modeling using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers

Introduction/purpose: The paper discusses the selection of the most optimal supplier using the example of an unmanned aircraft when the decision maker has data of a qualitative nature. Problems that arise in practice in the selection of suppliers relate to the selection of adequate criteria as w...

Problems that arise in practice in the selection of suppliers relate to the selection of adequate criteria as well as the way they are evaluated by the decision maker.

Intuitive fuzzy numbers are suitable for solving the problem of uncertainty in situations when it is necessary to review safety during the assessment. To rank suppliers, the ELECTRE method is used, which is adapted to intuitive fuzzy numbers (IF ELECTRE). The IF ELECTRE method was chosen because it clearly presents the potential of all suppliers, i.e. their advantages and disadvantages in relation to the required criteria.
